Taking on the Task of managing a Childcare Center can be a real challenge.

Every day in the U.S., millions of young children are entrusted to some 120,000 licensed childcare centers, and with the growing number of women joining the workforce, demand for these services continues to rise.

Yet with all the demand, childcare is a difficult business with low profit margins, high failure rates and many regulations. However, for people who love children and have an entrepreneurial spirit, running a childcare, daycare or child learning center might be a fulfilling career.

Whether you're thinking about starting a center or already have an ongoing childcare business, it's important to know the fundamentals. What is the best advice for someone new to the business? What resources are available? What mistakes should I avoid? What should I focus on with my business?

In this webinar Mary Innocenzi, CEO of The Village Learning Center, answers important questions about operating and managing a successful Child Daycare Center.

Mary will cover:

• Why Childcare
• What are the focus areas for managing a daycare center
• Advice for center Directors new/old
• Resources and hints for operating a profitable daycare center
• Most useful learnings from an experienced Childcare professional
• What mistakes to avoid in running a daycare center
• Where to get more training for your staff and yourself

The webinar is offered at NO COST and is scheduled for Thursday, July 14, from 11:15 am to 12:15 pm.
